Analysis: Positive signs in latest UK virus stats

Lots of positive signs in the latest figures released by the government. Another 288 deaths have been announced - the lowest 24-hour toll reported in a month.
Reporting numbers do fall at the weekend - these figures relate to Sunday - but England's deputy chief medical officer Jonathan Van Tam says it is “now very clear we are past the peak”.
When you look at hospital deaths by date, that peak seems to have happened in the second week of April. The numbers are now around a third of what they were then.
Numbers in hospital are down as well - to below 14,000, down from over 20,000 at the peak.
